As PCBA Aerospace Manufacturing Test Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for deployment, qualification, and continuous improvement of test systems, processes, and procedures at CM (Contract Manufacturing) sites for Satellite PCBAs. You will be a key member of the PCBA Manufacturing team and will be the main interface between Amazon Leo internal test development teams and our manufacturing partners. You will ensure successful test deployment by documenting procedures, training CM personnel, and providing ongoing support.

You will have extensive debugging experience with the ability to dive deep, determine the root-cause of test failures, and train others to do the same.

"A day in the life" and team context are described below to illustrate the role and environment.

• Develop test strategies, implement and optimize test setup/processes at Contract Manufacturing sites including identification, specification, design and qualification of test fixtures, test equipment, and maintenance programs.
• Work with the R&D and Test Development teams to continuously improve test systems, software, fixtures, and procedures to improve test effectiveness and throughput.
• Analyze data to identify failure trends and provide recommendations for PCBA, process, and test system improvement.
• Develop procedures and documentation for use by test operators.
• Train operators on test processes and support recurring certification programs.
• Perform PCBA debug and root-cause failure analysis at Contract Manufacturing sites. Create runbooks and provide training for technicians to perform PCBA debug.
• Provide feedback to the Test Development team on test coverage, fault isolation capability, PCBA failure trends, and DFT (Design for Test) recommendations.
• Work with your team to accomplish short-term objectives and implement strategic initiatives.

Come solve the difficult and rewarding engineering challenges in developing a highly reliable, power efficient, high performance, low-cost satellite system. As a Sr. PCBA Aerospace Manufacturing Test Engineering Manager, you will dive deep on the details to identify, understand and solve difficult technical problems and prioritize issues for the whole program. You thrive in a hands-on environment and will spend time in the office, on the factory floor at manufacturing partners, and in the lab to execute Amazon Leo’s mission.

The PCBA Aerospace Manufacturing Test Engineering team delivers and deploys test systems to our CM's for all Amazon Leo satellite PCBAs. This is an inclusive, inter-disciplinary team committed to performance, quality, and reliability. You will collaborate with other core groups to guide test systems from design to production and operation.

Here at Amazon, we embrace our differences. We are committed to a culture of inclusion. Amazon has ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We offer innovative benefit offerings and ongoing learning experiences guided by Amazon’s Leadership Principles.
